Spark plug getting ruined when trying to drive car from stop
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

In the Olga 24, when trying to drive from a stop after stopping not on level ground the car will rubberband slightly when trying to go forward in first gear. The check engine light will come on despite engine revs not being much more than idle. Every 5-10 seconds this will damage the sparkplug by a damage level. This has happened to our group over three times in the same circumstance now in about 5 minutes of trying to use the car over a period of an hour.
This feels like it might be an issue with the large amount of server lag that seems to occur on all official servers, despite the ping supposedly being under 60ms. It seems that the server thinks the car is overrevving whilst in our clients it isn't. This is the first instance of this happening over all our hours of playing DayZ which has involved using cars a lot, including post vehicle overhaul.

Steps To Reproduce

Get a working Olga 24.
Stop running car on not level ground, happens more often if coming to a sudden stop like hitting an object.
Attempt to accelerate in first gear.
Car will rubberband and not move, with revs barely rising at all and the check engine light will flash. (Is more pronounced if attempting to turn additionally from stop, rather than attempting to drive in a straight line).
After a little while car will die out as spark plug has been ruined.

Additional Information

Have not tried with other cars but would not be surprised if the same issue occurs for each car.
